WE have treat in store for our artistic
ally inclined readers in the advertisements
of the Ivory Soap. The fifth of the series
of tifty-two elegant announcements OF its
many virtues appears on the third page of
this issue. The Ivory Soap must indeed be
a soap of rare merit if tifty-two things can
be said of it,, and we predict our readers will
become so interested in the beautifully
drawn pictures that they will be the first
ing the preference with our lady readers
over the marriage notices, and our business
men will soon be convinced that advertis-
ing is not a lost art, nor is art lost when APP
piled to advertising. The fact that the space
has been taken in this paper by such dis
eliminating advertisers as Proctor x Gamble
is an endorsement of what we have always
clamed-no better advertising medium ex-
lists than this paper.

There is, perhaps, no industry
which has been 20 misunderstood
and misjudged as that which relates
to mines and mining. Definite in

ces been difficult to obtain, from the
fact that self-interest and location
both interfered largely with accur-
ate reports and exact statements.
In measuring the product Of the
wheat or cotton fields Of the country
the aggregate il expressed in BUSH
els, the value OF which constantly
fuctuates; but the output Of the
mines is usually measured by it
market value which, from the varia-
ton shown from time to time, fur
nishes . very unreliable and unsatis-
factory basis of estimate. Mining
dividends and dividend paying
mines have been for . long time
given undeserved prominence ~
evidences Of the pro6tableness Of
mining a. business. Their worth
lessness in this respect is clearly
proved by the fact that for q num-
Der Of years the amount Of dividends
announced by mining companies
has shown q steady decline, yet NO
we'll informed person doubts for q
moment that the mining industry,
as whole, has paid larger profits
during the past few years than ever
before in it's history. The increas-
ed production from the mines of
nearly every state and territory, and
the improved facilities Of treatment
and transportation which has cheap
ened the cost of production and
greatly enlarged the producing ca
pacity Of minea, by making lower
grade ore marketable, are sufficient,
